Is the Braking Distance Longer or Shorter in Rainy or Snowy Weather?

[AshlynDella]

In rainy or snowy weather, the braking distance will be extended. During such weather, the road surface is covered with water, snow, or ice, which reduces the roughness between the car and the ground. With the pressure between the car and the ground remaining unchanged, the friction force the car experiences during braking decreases. Since force is the cause of changing an object's state of motion, the smaller the friction force, the harder it is to alter the car's motion state. Therefore, the braking distance becomes longer. Relevant information about braking is as follows: 1. Introduction: Refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other means of transport, or machinery. 2. Principle: The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force.
